Remote Proprietary Trader - Stocks, Options, and Futures (Contract)
Maverick Trading is looking for traders who want to trade firm capital from home using a structured, rules-based approach. This contract role is ideal for people who are serious about day trading or active swing trading and want a clear framework, professional coaching, and the ability to scale over time.
We have been a proprietary options trading firm since 1997 and also support traders who focus on stocks and futures. Our traders come from many paths-corporate careers, entrepreneurship, teaching, engineering, and more. What unites them is discipline and a commitment to getting better week after week.
Your Role

• Trade stocks, options, and futures using capital provided by the firm
• Build and refine a trading plan that matches your personality and time availability
• Apply risk rules and position sizing guidelines consistently
• Engage with coaching, training modules, and performance reviews
• Track metrics, review trades, and make continuous improvements
• Work independently while having access to a community of like-minded traders

What You Get from Maverick

• Initial capital allocations up to $40,000, with the ability to scale to hundreds of thousands as you demonstrate consistency
• Profit splits that can reach up to 90% for high-performing traders
• Structured training, coaching, and trader development resources
• A proven risk framework designed to keep traders in the game long term
• Remote work flexibility-you provide the computer and internet; we provide the capital and structure
• A firm culture that values integrity, accountability, and continuous learning

What We Look For

• Genuine interest in financial markets and active trading
• Emotional discipline and the ability to follow a plan
• Coachability and openness to feedback
• Comfort with performance-based compensation
• Reliable technology: computer, monitors, and stable internet
• Some trading experience is helpful but not required

Compensation & Capital Terms
This is not a traditional job with a fixed salary. Traders are compensated through a share of the profits they generate. Starting capital allocations can be up to $40,000 and can grow significantly for traders who perform well over time. These allocations are not wages or guaranteed income and may be adjusted based on risk and performance.
Why Maverick Instead of Trading Alone?
Many independent traders struggle with inconsistency, lack of structure, and isolation. Maverick Trading addresses these challenges by combining education, capital allocation, and risk oversight. Traders keep a large share of the profits while benefiting from the support and structure of a professional firm.
About Maverick Trading
Maverick Trading has been developing traders since 1997. We focus on risk management, long-term consistency, and helping traders build a sustainable trading business. Our goal is to support traders who are willing to treat trading as a craft, not a hobby.
